"Any luck so far?" You ask, nodding to the safe on the table as you walk into the armoury to find Chris still pouring over the little black box, just as she'd been when you'd left her a half hour ago to go chase down other leads.

Chris just shakes her head, scrolling on the tablet in her hand as the machine fixed to the front of the safe twists as whirs as it works.

"Nope." She says with a sigh, placing the tablet on the table and leaning forward on her forearms. "I knew it'd take a while but it feels like forever. Anything pop up on your end?"

"Traced the partial we got on one of the dashcams, but it's a bogus plate. Street and Tan are gone tracking down stolen vehicle reports that match the description of the getaway car, but I'm not expecting much to come of it." Chris nods, eyes flitting to the safe irritatedly as you move to stand beside her, leaning against the counter as you look at her. "You mind if I stay here till they come back? I'm afraid if I walk into the control room again, Hicks is gonna find another rabbit hole to send me down."

She laughs, nodding. "Of course you can. Just don't get too excited - I'm hitting a wall with this lead, so company is all I can offer you."

You shake your head, smiling at her. "I could think of worse ways to spend my time."
